Are the I-tal-yee-an bikes losing their status? BMW is stealing poseur thunder with the 1000RR. Why don't the Duc riders just give it up? There is more to going fast than being red and having weird cams & valves. At least the BMW has enough horsepower to get out of it's own way on the track.

Who would waste so much money on a Ducati, when you can get a German, finely crafted, machine, with just as many poseur points. Heck, Ducati ain't even doing SuperBike, anymore. Whimps.

The cannoli is dead - long live the strudel.

Awesome...I was wondering how many posts it was going to take to suck in the Ducati haters: 45. :laughing BARF's slippin'. OK, now someone go start a separate thread about how sucky Duc riders are so that we don't derail the Harley Haters thread.

Spotted dick.
 
I've never been a fan of Ducatis myself. The way the dry clutch sounds is annoying to me. So I'm fine with Beemers being the new poseur bike. I wouldn't get either of them anyway. Much rather have an R1.

Fixed! - Let me guess, you ride a Portuguese bike?
But yer right, Ducati left World SuperBike but only after dominating it for so many years. MotoGP is next...





BTW, so far BMW didn't win a single race :teeth
 
I'd just like to point out that strudel is not of German origin. If you're going to use pastry metaphors you need to get it right.

Uuuuurrrr, concerning world superbike, but wasn't there something about a displacement issue? Just saying.
 
So long as the BMW is faster than the Ducatis, the BMW can never have as many poseur points. It's just basic math. :thumbup
 
Uhhh, who won the WSB title? A BMW?
Who won more races a BMW or Ducati? How many races did the BMW win? BIG ZERO!
Italians got passion and all Germans have is Sauerkraut! BMW can only maybe make over priced high maintenance touring bikes on a good day. :twofinger

Not really wanting to jump in on OP's Ducatigirl dig, esp given that BMW is my brand of choice right now,but I have to point out that beer and potatoes are quintessentially German. They of course are prevalent in England as well. So to differentiate between the two countries and to set up triumph (my #2 brand of choice), I'd have said something like "I'd take my Bitter over their Pils", "my bangers over their bratwurst", "my chips over their kartoffelnpuffers", or something like that. :laughing
